TRABAUD, Jean. Principes sur le mouvement et l'equilibre, pour servir d'introduction aux mecaniques & a la physique. Paris: Jean Desaint & Charles Saillant, 1741.

4to (255 x 193 mm). Woodcut device on title-page, woodcut initials and headpieces; 25 engraved folding plates (one with flaps). (Minor marginal chipping to a few plates, otherwise bright.) Contemporary calf gilt, brown morocco lettering-piece gilt, edges stained red (some light wear).

FIRST EDITION, this copy including the section on Ellipse that is often lacking. "In the text Trabaud makes reference to Jean Bernoulli, Leibniz, Varignon, Descartes, de la Hire, and other authors represented in this collection" (Bibliotheca Mechanica, p.325). The text includes two treatises: the first, containing several books, deals with all aspects of the movement of bodies and weights, percussions of bodies and statics, hydrostatics and equilibrium of fluids and hydrodynamics; the second shorter book deals with the formation of ellipse. Bibliotheca Mechanica pp.324-325.
